Undergroundnetwork

Hello. First post of first blog. Do i have anything to say? no. Not just yet. You’ll have to wait. Till then, welcome to my blog. How are you today? That’s nice. I’m well, thanks for asking.

So a blog, what’s that all about? I’ve no idea. I hope to find out eventually and what better way to find out than to start one. I’m not very web savvy, I haven’t a myspace, bebo, facebook or whatever site, I haven’t a clue really about anything internety. But I feel like public airing my rants, so I’ve created a blog.

Underground network? I’ve always thought it would make a great newspaper title. This will be the closest thing for now. I did not create the name, I’ve borrowed (or should i say stole) it from an Anti-flag song, ‘underground network’.

Chorus

“Underground Network, alternative communication,

Corporate media can’t keep us beat down, brainwashed, enslaved,

cause of our underground network, alternative communication”

As a journalism student, I harbour no illusions that i will never be constrained by the restrictions of corporate media, for we all need to earn a living and journalism is no exception. Because mass media is run as a business, it must sacrifice somethings to make money. But I hope to never let the commercial side of the media industry extinguish the reasons I wish to become a journalist. All those lofty ideals like truth, integrity, accountable and whatnot that hope to inject into society and into politics to flush out all the toxic something a-rather bla bla bla, im come back to this late

I hope to return to this when I’m sober, make it make sense. Remove some of the ’somethings’ and add more specific words. I look forward to making some changes!

See you till next time.

Paul
